Parts of the Screen

ü Quick Access Toolbar

ü Application Window Controls

o The application window controls include: minimize, maximize, and close. The minimize button hides the application in the Windows taskbar at the bottom of your screen. Maximize makes the application the full size of your monitor. The close bar closes the application.

ü The Ribbon

o The Ribbon contains commonly used commands and tools. Although the Ribbon is different from application to application, it is organized in the same way.

ü Status bar

o In Word, on the left side of the status bar, you can see the page number you are currently viewing and how many words are in your document. In PowerPoint, it shows you which slide you are viewing. On the right side of the status bars, you can change the way you view the document.
